Jon Stewart Mocks Former CNN Host Rick Sanchez

Just one day after CNN announced that host Rick Sanchez was gone from the cable news network after calling Jon Stewart a “bigot” and making comments about Jews, the “Daily Show” host mocked the anchor at a charity event.

Tonight, Stewart helped host Comedy Central’s “Night Of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education” at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. During the event he made several references to the controversy around Sanchez.

According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter, Stewart, in talking about donating to autism education, said: “If you went on radio and said the Jews control the media…you may want to hold on to your money.”

It was a reference to Sanchez, who had made this comment on Pete Dominick’s Sirius radio show: “I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart. And a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish are an oppressed minority? Yeah.” During the interview, Sanchez also called Stewart a “bigot,” and then later took the word back.

Stewart made this joke about Sanchez and Jews: “All he has to do is apologize to us, and we’ll hire him back.”

“Night Of Too Many Stars” is scheduled to air on Comedy Central on Oct. 21.
